Lenovo G40-70 - Plugged in, not charging?

Q:Lenovo G40-70 - Plugged in, not charging?

I've got an old G40-70 running Windows 10. I think the power area was damaged and now when the laptop is plugged in, it says "plugged in not charging" and the power slowly drains away. Then when the laptop is turned off, it will charge back up to 100%. Then when I turn the laptop on, it will say "plugged in, not charging" and the power will drain out. I've tried taking the battery out but the laptop won't start (when plugged in). I've bought a new power adapter/charger so I think its something to do with the laptop. If I bought a new power jack, would it need to be soldered in? Thanks.

i bought lenovo g50-80 from amazon . problem of not charging started on first day itself. It charged well upto 60% ,but after 60% it is continuously showing 'plugged in not charging' .It is frustrating to have a technical issue on a new laptop.please provide a solution .P.S.- I am using window 10

I have been using my lenovo Y50-70 since the past 1 year to play games like witcher 3 and Fallout 4. Recently, when I started playing Metal Gear Solid 5 and Battlefield 1, I have been facing some issues with the battery. I usually keep the charger plugged in while gaming, Since the laptop needs to be plugged in for better performance. But recently, my laptop automatically stops charging randomly in between eventhough it is connected and the power button and the charging led start blinking. As soon as i unplug the charger and put it back on, it starts charging again. But after sometime again stops charging and lights start blinking. I've noticed that this happens faster when I'm playing a game vs. when I'm doing something else. I'm scared about the damage it would do to the battery. Please suggest something. Thank you !

My laptop was not charging anymore so I send it to a service center so they repair the charging port of the laptop but after the repair the laptop says that "plugged in but not charging". I've searched all over the internet for a solution and those solutions doesn't work for me but if you charge it when it is turned off it is charging and you can see it through the indicator and another problem is when i turn on the pc randomly the battery percentage will drop to 7% and I don't know why the service center tried an another OS from another hard drive but its still not charging normally, PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP GUYS ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED. PLEASE !!! Power Problems are the worst cause you cant even use the PC without it. ?

Hi acejavier10 ,

Welcome to the Community Forums.

Initially , in such issue first to try is remove microsoft acpi-compliant control method battery .

Try uninstalling Energy Management and shutdown the pc, unplug the ac charger and remove the battery . Without battery and charger , press down the power button for 15 seconds to drain remaining power.

Place back the battery and charger and use the Novo button (Item 2 page 9 left side) to turn on pc. Novo screen should appear offering BIOS set up . F9 to load defaults , F10 to save and exit.

Without the Energy manager , restart the pc and check .You may reinstall it back from the support site under power management.

You can review the power checkout step guide provided here (page21-22) .

I'm new here, so please go easy on me. As the topic says, it is all self-explanatory already. I would gladly appreciate any help that anyone could provide (Or maybe even a link to a solution to this problem, if there is already one.) For now, I am still in hesitation whether it is the battery's fault or my charger's. Many thanks!

My Lenovo Thinkpad is not charging the battery and shows a "plugged in, not charging" message. I have a pending Bios update that won't update since the batteries are not charged. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this? Is there a way to update the Bios with just power plugged in?

A:Lenovo Thinkpad with "plugged in, not charging"

What charging threshold do you have set in either Lenovo companion or Lenovo Vantage app? For me I have it set at 70% and 80%. In other words my battery wont charge until it falls below 70% and it will stop at 80%. So if its at 75% for example it will show "plugged in, not charging"

Hello, My laptop charging is weird at times, sometime it works fine, sometimes it says "Plugged in, not charging". I have tried to install the Power Management. However i could never install any power managment or ACPI driver in Windows 10. Any help would be really appeciated Thank you- Azarudeen

Hi people so I got this PC since a couple of years and for some reasons I didn't use it until recently, the problem is that i'm not able to use it without a charger because it doesn't charge at all. It always displays "0% plugged, not charging".I ran the LSC Lite for the battery and it passed the tests without any specific error, the result code was WBA001000-HN9C7F.Should I replace my battery ? (OS is W10)Thanks for your help

Hello , My window is Win-7 pro . I found this problem that my battery show "Plugged in not charging" . I already tried the follwing instructions . It is not ok for me. Please help me . It is just only 2 days ago that I bought it.>Disconnect AC>Shutdown>Remove battery>Connect AC>Startup>In Device Manager, Under the Batteries category, right-click all of the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery listings, and select Uninstall (it?s ok if you only have 1).>Shutdown>Disconnect AC>Insert battery>Connect AC>Startup

My Lenovo T470 Laptop is one month old. Yesterday, I was traveling and plugged it into a wall adapter on a train. I used the charger that was shipped with the laptop. I was given an error message stating that this power adapter was not powerful enough, and to please use the charger that was shipped with the laptop. Now, any time I plug in, I am told that I am plugged in but not charging. When I returned from traveling, I connected the laptop to my dock, which charged at first, but now won't charge. I've updated the system, installed Lenovo Vantage, restarted several times, and tried it in a variety of outlets. Anyone have any input?

A:Lenovo T470 Plugged In Not Charging

Hi,

I know you have a T470 BUT please check the below article. I also know you were on a train. However if you turned on "airplane" mode or the system "auto" detected airplane mode the system may not provide enough power to charge laptop and power dock. So check in Vantage if you have airplane mode on.

Could anyone please advise a solution: my Lenovo Flex 2-14 (Windows 8) is suddenly showing "plugged in, not charging" message. It is completely impossible to use it if it is not plugged in, as soon as you unplug it just goes dead. I have already tried the uninstall Microsoft AC Adapter way and it didn't help. Has anyone else had this exact issue? Thank you!

Hey, have you tried this -1) Shut down the laptop and unplug the power supply2) Press the power button for 40 seconds3) Reconnect and start the laptop

My Lenovo G700, which is a week old, is saying that it is "plugged in, not charging". It was working fine until last night when I closed the lid to put it into sleep mode for the first time. I have checked that it is set to maximum battery life and it is still not working. It's stuck on 98%. I am severely disappointed that something like this has happened a week into having my first Lenovo. I hope someone can help me rectify this problem.

hi Zadeth,

Welcome to the Forums.

Can you try to:1. Turn off the machine and remove the AC adapter and battery2. Hold the power button for 10secs then plug the AC adapter back in.3. Turn the computer ON and when it gets to Windows, slide the battery back in place and observe the charge.

Alternatively, try to use the battery charge until it asks you to plug the AC adapter and observe if the charge goes all the way to 100%.

I have a Lenovo Yoga 500. My notebook stopped charging the battery and so the only way it can be used is plugged in. We thought the battery was the problem however we replaced the battery and the problem persists. I have tried various chargers to ensure the charger is not faulty however this proved useless. When I move the mouse over the battery icon, it says plugged in not charging. Any idea what this could be? It is a new computer however warranty has expired. please advise

I bought a Lenovo Yoga and after it arrived in the mail yesterday I plugged it in and let it charge today it showed plugged in not charging & after getting help from Lenovo support 8 hours ago I've been waiting for OneKey Optimizer to finish battery conditioning and hoping someone could give me direction on how long to wait or if I should just return it as it's only the 2nd day I've had it and it's already needed to be called in.

Hello everybody, Since today I have a problem with my Lenovo P51 workstation laptop. When the charger is plugged in and the laptop is turned off, the small ac adapter plugged-in indicator led on the back is turned on as normal. When I power on the laptop, the led will turn off and the laptop will receive no power at all. When the battery is removed, it is possible to boot into Windows, but after a few seconds the laptop will turn off. I hope you guys can help me! This laptop is mandatory for my study. Thank you! Kind regards,Max

The thinkpad hasn't been used for nearly a year and two months since i purchased it from my friend. Lenovo Power Manager recongnized the battery for a few seconds then says: Could not detect battery, please reinsert battery or recharge the battery. I applied double sided tape to the thinkpad battery so it wouldn't wobble. Still the same problem. Battery was purchased 2014-06-04.It is an aftermarket battery.

I bought a Lenovo Yoga 720 - 15IKB two weeks ago. The laptop works fine except for one important detail: it has never recognized the AC adapter as being plugged in. Basically when the PC is on, even if plugged in, it will drain down to 5% and turn itself off. But when it is off and plugged in, it charges up to 100% battery without a problem. How can I get my laptop to charge while plugged in? As it charges without issue when turned off, I want to think it is more of an issue with drivers or BIOS than the AC adapter and power connection. All Windows updates and Lenovo System Updates have been installed, except for one: BIOS Update - 10 [64]When I install and then run this update, I get this blue screen of death Windows Error DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Battery drivers in the Device Manager several times. I restored battery settings to default, tweaked them, and set them back to default with no avail. Can anyone help or make any suggestions??? Thank you very much!

Hi AhmedMagdyy,Have checked in Lenovo Settings app if Conservation Mode is enabled. Conversation mode is under the battery icon of the app. If enabled, kindly disable the feature. Conservation mode helps extend the battery life of the tablet/laptop by limiting the max charge the battery can hold. Hope this helps.Cheers,

Hello!I write here with a problem that I have since the day before yesterday.When my Laptop is on and the charger is plugged in, the battery won't charge, giving the notification "plugged in, not charging". Laptop works like the charger wasn't plugged - energy drains from battery.I suppose that is a software problem, because when laptop is turned off or hibernated it charges normally.Formating didn't help at all.Microsoft support told me to recalibrate battery - didn't work.Lenovo support told me to try another charger in service - I will try if nothing else works.Maybe someone had the problem like that and solved it without going to service, which I want to keep as a last resort solution.Thanks in advance!

Hi Mina,

Welcome to Lenovo Community!

1) Shut down the computer.2) With the battery in (but AC adapter removed), attempt to turn on the computer by holding down the power button for 30 sec. This should not turn on the computer.3) Remove the battery.4) Again, attempt to turn on the computer (AC adapter not plugged in) by holding down the power button for 30 sec. This should not turn on the computer either.5) Replace battery, plug in the AC adapter, and turn on the computer. The battery should begin charging.

I hope the above information helps.

I have a Lenovo Z50-70 running Windows 8.1. The laptop is relatively new, bought in Jan. 2015.

Some time ago, the original battery suddenly started to have a problem where it would say 45% available, plugged in, not charging. No matter what fixes I tried (after looking through a lot of articles, posts, comments, etc.), nothing made the battery start charging again. It always stays at 45%. Also the battery light/indicator on the front of the laptop is always blinking white.

So I got a new battery, put it in hoping that it would work and charge up to 100%, but the new battery is having exactly the same problem as the original old one! It will only charge up to 45%, then it says plugged in not charging. The battery light is again always blinking white.

What do I do? How can this be fixed? What's going on?

Appreciate any help. Thank you very much.

check the warranty is still active, as thats one route you could take with a relatively new laptop.

also, try uninstalling the energy management and restart the system and check for the issue. also try uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI from the device manager and restart the system and check for the issue. for more info on this action see this thread in the link:https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo...t-charge-shows-100-but-dies-when/td-p/2086399

Hello Any suggestions for a Lenovo G50-80 that won't charge in Windows 10? When hovering over the battery icon, the message shows "plugged in, not charging". However, it will charge when it is shut down and off. This leads me to believe that is a Windows issue. Possibly a corrupt driver? Any suggestions? Is re-installing Windows 10 the only option? And will that fix it? I gotta think so, but am open to suggestions. Thanks.

Okay, so my keyboard dock works fine. I restarted it once (paperclip method) after dying on me, but afterwards nothing was really wrong with it. Now, the tablet's battery is acting funny. At first, I thought it was just my keyboard dock not charging my tablet, so I detatched the keyboard, and the tablet completely shut off. I plugged the AC adapter into the tablet, and it came back to life, but it would not charge at all. The keyboard dock would be at 100%, but the tablet itself would only be at 8%. I have installed the Lenovo Dependency Package thing and the firmware update, but it didn't change anything. Now, even though it says (plugged in, charging) on my tablet, it's not really charging. So, whenever I unplug the tablet or detatch the tablet from the keyboard dock, the system completely turns off because it's only at 8%. Please help me! Thank you! EDIT: Okay, so I unplugged the AC adapter while the keyboard dock was on and then Battery #1, the tablet battery, drained down to 0%, and its status is now Plugged in, not charging, while Battery #2 is plugged in, charging. I also got a pop up notification saying there's an error in battery #1, see replacement options. I clicked it, but it was a dead browser link.Also, when I go to the Support app, it says under messages that my battery is not valid... but I don't know how that happened. I've only had my Helix for about 2 months now.

Hi!My Yoga 500-15ISK Laptop seems to have a battery issue. For some time now, whenever I plug my laptop into the AC power, I get this message, e.g. "(% charge) available, (plugged in, charging)", however for some reason, the battery level actually stays the same even after a significant amount of time of being plugged in to the AC supply. Moreover, the battery icon initially shows the animated one which indicates charging is indeed in progress, then after a few moments, it will freeze on the estimated level.Before this, my laptop's battery usually charges relatively quickly. Also, I have not turned on the Conservation Mode so it must charged up beyond 50-60% especially if I leave it plugged in overnight. This issue is really bewildering me right now. Any comments or suggestions on how I can address this issue?Thanks!Other notes re my laptop:It's been around 10 months since I've bought it and I have encountered this issue only a few days ago.I have no other issues with it.

My laptop was charging perfectly but all of the sudden it stopped at 19% and it says "plugged in, not charging" I restarted my PC still didn't work then I turned it off for a while and then turnned it on but still it says "plugged in, not charging"...later for just few min it charges to 23% and and then again no charging ... now its 27% and it says 56 minutes until fully charged I took off the charger and plugged in again now to see if its charging but its still says not charging.......

I have a Lenovo Flex 4 1580, I have enclosed a screen shot, it is "Plugged in and not charging" ? How do I fix this? I tried restoring to a recover point, a full system wipe and reinstalling windows, but so far nothing has worked. What do I do?

Hi everyone, I have Lenovo Yoga 710-14IKB 80V4001LAX model notebook. I bought it around 3 weeks ago. Everything was perfect until today. Today I noticed that the device is not charging. I made a research on the internet and saw that in many model of Lenovo there is this problem. - The conservation mode was closed all the time. So it is not that. Please check the screenshot.- I turned off the notebook, removed the cables and press the opening button for 30 seconds, and then plugged the cables in and restarted but no change.- Updated bios and no change.- No reached to battery as it is sealed. I am really disappointed and don't know what to do. I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

So I bought this laptop 3 days ago. It seems like it has a charging problem. It sometimes charges when I let the laptop in sleep mode or close the lid. I sometimes get a full charge but then, when I'm using it, it just stops charging for no reason. To "force charge" it, I discovered that if I first unplug the charger from the laptop itself, then disconnect the cable from the power brick, plug it back in the laptop and connect the brick back again, it seems to charge for around 4 more minutes. I tried updateing the BIOS with the support from the official Lenovo support site (this one) but it does not work. I heard about the removing the battery and pressing the power button but I can't remove the battery. The power brick and charger are original and seem to work fine. Should I try buying another charger? Please resond to this as I'm desperate. Thanks much !

Ok so a bit over a week ago I bought my ideapad 2 in 1 and about two-three days ago I noticed the battery was at 95 %. I keep it plugged in but it's not charging. Right now it's at 94% but that's probably because I moved it out of my room where I usually keep it to work in the dining room for a bit.Does anyone know how to fix it without removing the battery because I think I have to unscrew the back to get to it and I really would rather not do that or is it normal for the battery to be at a 94-95% charge. I really am hoping I don't have to bring it in to Best Buy because I just bought this and I can't financially afford to get it fixed right now

Recently my T410 laptop has had issues with charging the battery, the battery is plugged in and not charging.I have attempted updating the firmware for the battery, it failes half way through as the battery cannot be not identified.The lenovo power mannager does not resolve the issue either as it cannot detect the battery. Any advice on diagnostics or resolutions would be greatly appreciated, as after contacting lenovo support, they simply told me to replace the battery. Which I am happy to do but only as a last resort.

Hello, I noticed this afternoon that the battery indicator in the system tray was at less than full and the status message reads "95% - Plugged in, not charging." This was not the case previously, and I haven't changed any battery or system settings that would affect this. I've only owned the computer for about a month or two and I'm concerned that there may be a problem with the battery. I looked up this issue online and attempted to uninstall and reinstall the driver that affects battery control in System Settings, but there was no change to this behaviour. Is there a way to test if the battery is damaged? What other problems could I be having that would produce this effect?

i have been having this problem since yesterday and i found a fix which involved disconnecting the battery and reinstalling the acpi compliant control battery and restarting with the battery reconnectedthe fix worked but as now today the same problem has occured againthings i tried:(checking if conservation mode was offrestarting x10 timeschecking the power cable (no damage)checking the power cable port on the wire and laptop (no damage) )please help

Method C:1.Open Lenovo Energy Management2.Click on the bottom gear icon between i and ?.3.Under Battery Health, choose "Optimize For Battery Runtime" instead of "Optimize for Battery Lifespan".Note: The latter option will extend the lifespan of battery by limiting the charging capacity to be between 0-80%. as mentioned in another thread in this forum but none of them worked. The Battery Gauge Reset didn't start.i am using win7 , and this battery is 4 year old .please help me out of this problem.

as i see, this is a common problem for lenovo users, and maybe lenovo should really adress this. my laptop worked fine until, i guess, i installed some new windows updates, and now the battery won't charge baterry is on 0%, or 1%, and it says - plugged in, not charging now i've been reading and googleing this problem for the past two days, and not one of the solutions presented to me worked. not even youtube videos that have over 250 000 views. now lenovo, if 250 000 people have this problem, maybe it's something that you should fix please help, fix this thx

Hello, I have some problem with battery. The issue start when 1 week ago. My notebook sometimes does not charge while I plugged in the adaptors to the notebook. After I turn off the notebook. I turn on it 3hours later and become a normal while I plugged in the adaptors into the notebook and charged very well. But, now I have same problem again with this.So, I do not know why this is happening and how to solve it.Please help me to handle it.Thank you very much.Regards.

Hi.I don't usually utilize the full laptop battery and it stays plugged in for the most part. Today I let the battery go to 0%. After plugging in, it shows 'Plugged in, Charging, 0% available'. It's been several hours since I left it plugged in but it still won't charge up. As soon as I remove the Adapter, the laptop turns off. The product is still a year inside warranty. Is there a diagnosis of the problem? Is it a hardware issue or something else? How do I go about rectifying it? I have exams in the next 2 weeks.

I've bought this Z40 70 laptop in 2015. It's been charging fine until June 2018, not sure what happened all of a sudden it just stopped charging at 1 or 2 percent even after charging for hours. It just goes off the moment i remove the Adapter pin.Initially i thought the battery has gone and looked for replacement, but could not do so being in tour and so used my laptop by directly plugging the adapter. But after i came back, just thought of looking for replacement battery and googled for it, later i came to know this is something else and not the battery issue. Then i looked fr the solutions and tried as below. I even tried to uninstal and reinstal the drivers of adapter and battery but the problem remains same, further i tried to update BIOS, but cld not do so as it saks the battery to be 30%, find pic attached, help me out at the earliest, thanks in advance.

A:My Lenovo Z40-70 Battery not charging, shows plugged in but stuck at 1%,

Hi rennaveen,

Welcome to the Community Forums.

If you have tried the steps mentioned here, them you can proceed following the hardware manual (page 21) for checking operational charge.

Using the battery indicator LED as reference, we expect that it shows amber (the battery has between 5% and 20% charge). Without powering the laptop, have it connected to the charger for 2-3 hours and notice if the battery indicator light would change to blinking white (battery has between 20% and 80% charge) then solid white (80%).

If there is no change then perhaps you can have it checked with any local service center to test the battery integrity first.

Hey Community, I'm in dire need for help, my lenovo Y50-70 has been working fine for the past 3 years now and JUST after the warrenty is up, my battery becomes funky. I noticed that whenever I load up a game, the charger becomes unrecognized and instead of regular led lights, i get one blinking white light and one blinking orange light. When I remove the AC adapter and plug it back in, it'll recognize the charger and ocasionally it'll take some time to recognize it. It stops charging when the LED lights begin to blink. I've tried to1. "remove the static" or drain the battery by unplugging the AC adapter2. holding down the power button for 30 seconds (I didnt remove the battery because it's not a removable battery, Should I?).3. Changed the power settings to high performance and no conservation of power.4. I bought a new adapter and it's still happening, I have no idea what to do. Intially prior of buying a new adapter it drained and I couldnt figure out a way to get it to charge. With the new adapter I was able to charge it till full, but when I have it on, it does the same thing. Please help me community, you kind souls. Best,Richard
